Good thing the gate is there to prevent the ball from hitting the star post rings. Are you sure that’s the original design?
Actually, just looked at the manual, and that is the original setup - weird.

I guess the posts are there just in case the gate fails, and the gate is there just in case the posts fail.

Two fails = correct!
That’s a really odd use for a gate. Does it deaden the ball’s rebound so it falls the rollover lanes?
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:They also put a ball gate in a similar spot on Hollywood Heat. Totally bizarre
